Broome, Western Australia
ruE creation of a new town is, eyeu in these iays of achievements and incessant surprises, i matter of interest and moment. There is in certain circles here much speculation manifested as to what will be the outcome of ;he new Australian town that has already :ome into nominal existence. I allude, suya i writer in a London paper, to Broome, at Roebuck Bay, which, as all my readers are iware, is just snr.'.i of that projection of Western Australia, known as Dampier** Land. The main cause is, of course, the fact >f the third cable of Java being carried to ;his point, where there id already an official ittitiou, although it is on a very modest scale ndeed at prese?if.

'.:ny even prove a ;ood trade point in co:i:i .i.vi with Eastern narkets for this part of Continental Au^tra^ ia by the time that responsible government s granted.
